Car insurance premiums

[tigwig]

A work colleague of mine in her early 20's has only passed her test around a month ago yesterday wrote off her car by driving into the back of someone. They are both ok but I wondered how much her insurance will go up? Will anyone insure her again?!

[NORMANTHEDOG]

of course someone will insure,her present company will put her premium up on renewal by about 20 % or so.

She will find another insurer but she will lose her first years no claims bonus which will be roughly 30% not only that her policy will also be loaded for having a fault disalowed accident on the policy, i would tell her to expect a 20-50% increase on the price she paid last year
